2012 Twelve Days

2012 already! 
For six years we've been celebrating the season with handmade gifts, and we can now proudly tell stories to our kids and friends about how we participated in 12 Days when there was no such thing as Pinterest; gasp!
The group is always shifting and changing as friends get busy or start up new swaps, but the good will and fun always remain core to this great exchange.

As always, we are excited to document and share our gifts with you and hopefully a little inspiration too!

How about some snowflakes for your tree?
